Chapter 190: Reaching Lichs place (1/2)

The Lich's undead was more troublesome than Kelvin's since Kelvin wasn't an undead himself. Kelvin's weren't exactly cheap copies, but people could notice the difference even to the simple 'mindless' ones.

Still, they were stronger than when they had to fight Kelvin, and even if they hadn't since Nivlek took his pace, their chance of success was quite high. Shingi and An would fight the Lich while having their special eyes active so that its mind control abilities wouldn't work on them, while the others would keep the rest of the undead busy.

Finding the Lich was like finding Kelvin; they just had to find the primary source of the corruption.

His MANA SENSE Skill was weaker because of his weakened state, but with the effects of his passive MANA DETECTION Skill had it to be at the right level he needed.

The Lich didn't have a Black Crystal as Kelvin's staff, and Shingi couldn't gather anything from its body as on death it would turn into dust. But still, he needed a lot of exps to reach level 60, and also using his Spells and Skills in combat was the more beneficial form of training.

He already knew how to use them; he just had to find a way to pass the restrictions of his weakened state. It was like he started wearing weights and had to get used to them to run once more.

Dark Shadow had barely level 20, meaning he had a long way to level 60 to Evolve his class, but they didn't kill the boss on the previous floor. They would earn some extra exps if they completely cleared the Floor, meaning killing the boss and all the monsters.

They would aim for those extra exps, as everyone could continue to level up now, or at least Shingi could until he reached level 60, and so he couldn't level until he Evolves his class. Of course, one could choose to continue leveling up without evolving their class at level 60, but it was impossible to evolve your class if one did so.

Fortunately, there were ways to keep yourself from getting exps and not level up, but those were for the Blessed Ones, like that they could give exps to their Skills to level up. Unfortunately, Shingi and Dark Shadow didn't have that option, so they had to find another way not to earn exps when they reached level 60.

For Shingi, it would be easy, as he could get unrecruited so that the System wouldn't automatically give him experience for every monster they killed. However, he had not give the killing blow to any enemies, as there was no getting assist exp if you aren't in the same party as the one who got the kill.

That meant that Dark Shadow would only get exps by his kills as it couldn't join the Party, and if Shingi weren't taking any exps, he wouldn't get his share from that. Dark Shadow couldn't 'bond' with others the same way he had with Shingi, no matter how many times they tried. But Dark Shadow's power had increased a lot, and he could fight monsters of even double his level with ease.

Shingi had his new staff outside and had his Mana Pool to have Air, Fire, and Light Mana Active.

He learned AIR BOLT, FIRE BOLT, and LIGHT BOLT, which were easy to learn since they were like ROCK THROW, just different Element, and they were also Low-Grade Spells. However, Shingi still wondered the difference between ROCK THROW and EARTH BOLT, as Little Phoenix had learned EARTH BOLT but couldn't learn ROCK THROW. So he also tried to learn EARTH BOLT, but no matter what he tried, he could only use ROCK THROW.

He also tried to do a similar Spell with Spirit Element, but he hadn't succeeded. It was impossible or not as easy as with the other Elements.

He also learned a Base Grade Spell called EMPOWERED FIRE BOLT, which was a combination of AIR BOLT and FIRE BOLT. Air and Fire were always allied Elements, so using them both into a Spell was easier than for other Spells. He had combined two Elements in the past, but never as a Spell, except if one counted Spirit Element.

He couldn't summon any of his Golems or create Water Elementals unless he would use the Spirit Child's energy, which he didn't want to, so instead, he just summoned his MANA DOUBLES for extra hands. He didn't have them all active simultaneously, as it wasn't possible in his current state, but he could have at least two.
